Matthew’s background is in advertising and design. He’s worked on television, press and outdoor media campaigns for various creative service agencies.
Matthew’s directorial feature film debut “Tied in Blood” is available on DVD through Chemical Burn Pictures. Matthew has also produced 2 other feature films; Skyggen and Murdered, both of which are also available on DVD.
Most of my previous projects have been short films and feature films, so this music video gave me the chance to try something different. The song has a strong arch, staring off quietly and building to a dramatic crescendo. It lent itself well to a cinematic treatment. The lyrics are all about witchcraft so it made sense to make a horror story.
As well as being a huge fan of the genre, horror appeals to me as a filmmaker as it is fun, challenging and relatively inexpensive to make. You don’t need big stars or fancy equipment to pull off a good scare! I enjoy the process of coming up with new and creative ways to work around our limitations.
I decided to reverse engineer the film, building a story around the actors, locations and resources that I had access to. The project features Alannah Marie as Molly, an innocent young girl who becomes infatuated with the darkness. Alannah and I work well together and she is fast becoming a regular in my films.
This project also gave me the chance to collaborate with my old friend Jamie Burr; an extremely talented Cinematographer who has shot numerous music videos and feature films. I enjoyed our collaboration and Jamie captured some compelling imagery that was fitting to our story.
I enjoyed making “Cast” and feel that it has helped develop my discipline and storytelling. I hope it can reach an audience and I look forward to making more music videos in the future.
